The new Spanish-language book, En Busca de Emma: Dos Padres, Una Hija y el Sueño de una Familia [In Search of Emma: Two Fathers, One Daughter and the Dream of a Family] chronicles a gay couple's journey through surrogacy. Emma - of the title - is the daughter of author Armando Lucas Correa and Gonzalo Hernandez.
Steve Rothaus posts an article about the family written by Ana Veciana-Suarez:
"There's an addendum to the happy ending that became Emma, now 4. Correa, known as Papa, and Hernandez, known as Papi, are expecting twins, a boy and girl, at the end of December with the same surrogate who carried Emma."
Emma's very excited about having a little brother and a little sister. Correa says, 'Every night she wants to talk about the babies. She never gets bored with that.'
Emma was conceived via IVF; and the couple paid for the procedure by selling their New York apartment.
'The sad thing about this is that it's a lot of money, and the person who makes the least amount is the one who makes the most sacrifice, the surrogate,' Correa says. 'The bulk goes to legal transactions and medicine.'
Correa and Hernandez maintain a relationship with the California woman who carried Emma and now the twins.
